Katherine Hayhoe

Climate Scientist and Professor

TexasTech University

Our crew traveled to Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas where we interviewed Climate Scientist and Evangelical Christian, Katharine Heyhoe. Ms. Heyhoe has been a prominent voice in the climate change debate as a spokesperson for embracing both spirituality and science—especially where it involves the urgency of acting to mitigate environmental impacts we see everyday. 

Her voice strongly reinforces Jim Blackburn's message in his book, A Texas Plan for the Texas Coast, that there is a productive avenue to encouraging more environmental protection from people of faith in Texas. Spirituality is one of the three primary ares we examine in Calming the Waters.
